Tired.

It’s creeping up on me the way it used to,

Missing you and the way you just knew.

But only fools would fuel that ember,

For a faint memory they shouldn't remember. 

Dark

All you have doesn’t seem to be enough

No candle is ever so tough. 

Guess who was a fool to give it all away,

Even when she knew you’d leave some day. 

Haunted

Permanent scars all covered up,

Who knew they’d come from an end without a blowup.

Knees fail and I feel it before it hurts,

Tomorrow there’s no way I’d replay the concerts 

Longing

Goodbye was just a test,

Hoping to hear even the slightest protest.

I guess the band stretched too thin,

Snapping only to leave behind a plastic grin. 

Eyes stared from across the room,

Begging and pleading to just stop this gloom. 

Proof that dreams lied,

Who cares how much I tried?

Silent pain

Smiled, waved, texted, and knocked,

But you just turned away and left me locked.

Mind over matter, just fake it with them,

Hopefully I’ll eventually be numb.
